You Are Meant for More

You have an obligation

What comes to your mind when you think of the word obligation? For me, I think of terms like chore, requirement, or an absence of choice. But, when it comes to my obligation to share the good news, I'm glad. Overjoyed even. It's a privilege and an honor to share what God has done for me, how He's set me free and who He is with others. Listen to today's episode, a psa of sorts, to uncover the wisdom from Acts 3 and remember one of the most important commands. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19 NIV Scriptures from this episode: Acts 3:6 Acts 3:16 Acts 3:26 Isaiah Matt: 28:19 Galatians 5:14 NIV Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
